    I'm currently working on a facelift of a 2013 Limited to a 2014 Trail. One of my road-bumps is if I tie in the drivers and passenger side DRL, to 3 "raptor lights", and both "backlights" on my SS3's, will I blow a fuse? I could make a wiring harness real easy.

    Don't the highbeams double as DRLs, just with less power?

    Please don't use T-taps.

    2010-2013 the front turn signals are also the DRLs. 2014-2020 the high beams are the DRLs but dimmed via PWM. 2022-2024 have a dedicated DRL. 2021 has some trims with PWM and some with dedicated DRL.

    For OP, you’ll likely end up with your backlights and raptor blinking with you turn signals

    Here we go. DD Recomends wiring to the DRL wire. The current draw is .4 per backlight, so call it 1.0 amps. I wonder if this will throw the 2013 into turn signal mode. I will be using 2014 specs. There must be a threshold burried in some engineers desk. I might have to just do the wiring with a relay. I was so hoping I could spimplfy things. Or, I could experiment. I'll have the entire bumper appart.
